Prof. Katherine Kim attended the Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion (FEPPCON) 2024 conference held in Geneve, Switzerland. She was invited to participate in Session 7 on “Workforce Development: Empowering the Next Generation,” organized by Dr. Christina DiMarino and Dr. Chris Mi (see image below). During the session, Prof. Kim gave a presentation entitled “Embracing Diversity: Exploring Educational Approaches for Inclusive Learning Environments” and also moderated the panel session that followed.
During the forum, the participants also took a tour of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to learn how power electronics is a vital part of making and running the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Prof. Kim loved the tour of the various facilities at CERN (see image below).
